I guess not everyone will finish their builds by the 15th, so you have until the end of this month to finish your builds.
I hope it helps !

Thanks John!
Even without all the PE I can't believe how many teenie-weenie parts there are to this, already lost three or four to the carpet monster. Construction should be finished in a couple of hours.

Cheers Rob.

come on Rob, put that F15 to one side and concentrate on
this thing. You still got 3 whole days
Day 1 - base coat
Day 2 - Camo
Day 3- High speed weathering
and maybe those stray elves will help you if can bribe ´em
enough
Good luck budy, you can do it

Paul, I gave everyone a few more days, until the end of the month, so the high speed weathering can take a week

it's too bad that all these great builds go to a Shelf-Queen Campaign "Get'them done Mk.IV" ... no they stay right here !

Thanks Paul!

The F-15 will not interfere as I am building that at work on my two half hour breaks. This has gotten to the small parts I don't want to risk losing at work. The extension helps I don't want to botch the finish.

Cheers Rob.

Nicely done Lonewolf, here´s a tip check your battery if it´s getting low it can cause problems and also try taking a pic close up instead of using the zoom. Hope that helps

@MSCorley

Very nice, I like your camo scheme !!

@Gary

Thanks Gary !! I'm planning for a Part 2 , maybe after the Summer, starting September. I hope you'll be on board !

During these 2 next weeks I'll check the Gallery and every thread to make sure everyone who has finished gets the ribbon by the end of the month !
I hope everyone had a fun researching, planning, building and finishing their builds ! ... I did !!

Thanks for the input and I had a blast but I have to admit some of it comes from memory while stationed overseas during the cold war

Lap Man, Nice!

I got a bit more of the plow done and added a pic to explain my comment earlier the two red circles are where the spring mounts the problem is that the two points are closer with the blade up in fact the springs don't fit if you want the blades up.

Cheers Rob.

DOOOOOONE, thanks to shoulder surgery and reading week I've been able to do nothing but model all week, and it's been incredibly productive. I've decided that for right now its going to be brand new never used ESV. Will probably get stowage and weathering later but for now i'm calling it quits






Cheers lads it was a fun campaign
